Note: Recently we found that there are many sites to copy our website, articles, and sales watch in the name of wwss.cc, destroying our reputation. We remind customers to buy carefully. Prevent deception!!!

1.Why would I want to buy a Swiss replica watch instead of a real one?

The reason why replica watches are so popular is because you can look classy and professional, yet not have to spend tens of thousands of dollars doing it. These watches look identical to the ones you will find at the jewellery store selling for prices most people would not be able to afford. There is no reason why these beautiful watches should only be limited to the rich, but to everyone who wants to add a touch of class to their life style.

The grade 1A Swiss replica watches available for purchase on www.wwss.cc are the highest grade of watches available anywhere. These are 99.9% accurate to the original, and have brilliantly executed construction, and flawless finish.

2.Why would I want to buy a Swiss replica watch instead of a lower priced copy?

Grade 1A Swiss replicas are top-of-the-line replicas on the market. The movements used – which is the engine of the watch – is exclusively handcrafted by the recognized leader in Swiss-made watch movements. ETA has excelled in craftsmanship since 1793, when their first factory was set up. The 2834-2 and 2836-2 25 jewel ETA movements are used in many genuine Swiss brands such as Omega, Rolex Tudor and Patek Philippe.

The rest of the watch is constructed only from the finest materials, as close to the real thing as possible.  These Swiss timepieces have genuine sapphire crystal (exactly like the real thing), and our Swiss grade 1A replicas are even handfitted with custom, stainless steel shock resistant movement holders, to prevent movement damage in automobile accidents or other minor shocks. They look, feel, and weight exactly like the real thing, at a fraction of the cost.

3.Will you be offering other brands in the future?

Yes, we may add new brands of watches to our website in the future depending on the availability of brands. Please do bookmark our site and check back often!

If you do have a specific model in mind that you do not see on our website, please don’t hesitate to contact our friendly customer support staff for additional inquiries. Often, models which are not listed on our site can be sourced by our technical or customer support staff for customers.

4.What is an Automatic Movement?

A watch whose mechanism is fitted with a device, (rotor) that automatically winds the spring by using the force of gravity. An automatic is a mechanical watch whose mainspring is wound as a result of the wearer's arm motion. The movement of the wrist and body causes the rotor, a metal weight attached to a winding mechanism, to pivot freely on its staff in the center of the movement. The rotor rotates back and forth in a circular motion at the slightest action of the wrist. The rotor's movement winds the mainspring, a flat coiled spring that powers mechanical watches.

Rolex refers to its automatic watches as "perpetual." Automatic, self-winding and perpetual all mean the same thing: the watch winds itself. Many people appreciate the craft involved in making a mechanical automatic movement. They like the fact that this technology is hundreds of years old, involves many moving parts, and yet keeps very accurate time. (Many automatics come with glass backs which enable the wearer to view the action of the rotor and other moving parts.) They appreciate the human element involved in an automatic watch, that the movement is assembled by hand. Others like the fact that automatics run on so-called "clean," natural energy wrist power.

A person's normal arm and wrist motion will keep an automatic watch properly wound. If you haven't worn an automatic in a while, it is best to wind the stopped watch before putting it on. Ten to 15 turns of the crown is usually enough to give full power to the mainspring.

5.What sort of movements do your Swiss replicas use?

The movements used in the majority of our Swiss replicas is exclusively handcrafted by the recognized leader in Swiss-made watch movements. ETA has excelled in craftsmanship since 1793, when their first factory was set up. The 2834-2 and 2836-2 25 jewel ETA movements are used in many genuine Swiss brands such as Omega, Rolex Tudor and Patek Philippe.

For many of the Chronograph models, such as the Rolex Daytona, and Breitling Navitimer Chronographs, the engine used is the impeccable 25 jewel 7750 movement.  This allows the replica to have fully automatic movement (with the second hand on the sub-dial), and fully functional stop watch chronographs, exactly like the genuine Chronographs of their respective brands. Lower grade Japanese replicas would only have Day-date-Military time chronographs, or quartz movement.

The Swiss manual wind lemania movement is also occasionally utilized for these Swiss Chronographs, such as in the Swiss Omega Speedmaster Chronograph model.

Other top grade Swiss movements are also utilized in our Swiss timepieces. Of note, the Swiss Panerai range often uses the 17 jewel incabloc Unitas ETA 6497 movement, which is a manual handwind movement. This is the exact same movement used in genuine Panerais previously, and hence further attesting to the superb quality and exacting detail of these genuine Swiss replicas.

In short : when you purchase a Swiss Grade 1A timepieces from www.wwss.cc, you can rest fully assured that your money is spent on only the finest Swiss movements, and finest materials. The timepiece that you will receive is a work of art, and exclusively and painstakingly handcrafted with great attention to detail.

6.What if I'm not satisfied?

You will be. But if you really don't think they're worth the money, simply return them to us and we will refund your money, no questions asked. Please do not remove the plastic wrapping around the bands or remove any links, or wear the watch at all, because we cannot refund your money on worn watches. Make sure to read our return policies before ordering. Regardless of the ROLEX markings and printings these are quality timepieces that will last for many years. If such product were to be retailed in a department or jewelry store setting, these watches would easily command thousands of dollars.

7.How safe is ordering from your site?

We guarantee you that ordering from our site is safer than ordering in real-life. We secure all your personal information through military-strength encryption programs. If any fraud is ever committed on your credit card, we will pay the maximum $50 penalty fee that your bank can hold you liable for. But we are more than sure this will never, ever happen.

8.Will no one ever be able to tell the difference?

We are very honest when we say that no one can tell the difference. Here are just a few reasons why:

• These Swiss replicas are so rare that no one knows about them. The factory only has a capacity to make a small quantity each year since they are individually hand-crafted.
• The quality of the material is the same found on a genuine Rolex. The manufacturer uses only high grade solid stainless steel, and genuine triple wrapped 18k gold. This way, the weight and the feel of the watch is identical.

10. Can these really fool everyone?

Yes. So please do not pose them as a genuine Rolex under any circumstance. We will hold no liability at all for what you do with these Swiss replicas after they have been sold, because of the nature of their quality. Many jewelers have been fooled in the past, and there really is no way of telling the difference other than opening up the watch and taking a look at the movement.

11.Are the pictures on your site taken from the actual replica or the genuine watch?

You may be amazed by some of the pictures we have up on our website. Because of their quality, you might think they are from catalogs of the genuine watch. But that is NOT true! We have an in-house professional photographer taking the pictures for us, and he has taken pictures for a few watch catalogs before.

As a matter of fact, many other sites misappropriate our pictures to place up on their own website.

We guarantee 100% that all pictures taken from our site are actual pictures of our Swiss Rolex replicas! The watches look exactly as represented in the pictures, and we never, ever use anyone else's pictures, or pictures of the genuine watch.

16.Services

PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU READ THE INSTRUCTIONS & INFORMATION ON HOW TO OPERATE AND TAKE CARE OF YOUR WATCH BEFORE YOU HANDLE THEM. IT WILL DEFINITELY LET YOU ENJOY A BETTER EXPERIENCE WITH YOUR WATCH.

17.Water Resistance/ water proof

Please note that although certain watches are water-resistant to a certain degree, wwss.cc will suggest that you try to keep it away from water whenever possible and always make sure that the watch crown is screwed in tight to avoid water or moisture entering it. All watches have been checked to be in working condition before we send them out.

Please do not wear your watch when you go swimming or even when taking a shower. This is to prevent accidental moisture or water seeping in. We at wwss.cc cannot guarantee the watch if your accidental usage results in water or moisture getting into the watch.

18.What is the first thing i need to do upon receiving the watch?

Upon receiving the watch, please wind it. It is likely that the watch runs out of energy during the journey. Wind the watch by turning the crown for about 15 - 20 full turns clockwise. If you know your watch is battery, there is no need to wind it. If your watch has a screw-tight crown, release it by turning it anti-clockwise until it is loose. Then you can wind it for 15 – 20 times clockwise as mentioned. Once it is done, you can screw it tight by pushing the crown inside. Turn the crown clockwise and screw it tight back at the same time. By doing a manual winding of the watch, your watch will start to tick.

19.My watch is automatic,why does it stop?

If your watch is a quartz version, it means that the battery has been used up. Please change the battery.

If it is an automatic watch, it is running on stored energy. It gains energy from human hand kinetic movement. When you do not wear it and it runs out of stored energy, it will stop. To make it tick again, you have to wind it for 10 - 12 rounds by turning the crown clockwise. To re-adjust the Day or Date back correctly, it depends on whether the crown is the one adjusting or it is recessed or button pusher. You can then adjust accordingly. For the crown, pull it out lightly once to adjust Date/Day (Most watches are like that). If you pull out the crown out twice, it will adjust Time. If it is a screw in crown, unscrew the crown anti-clockwise and follow the same instructions to adjust Date/Day and Time.

20.How do i set the time?

To set time, you need to unscrew crown anti-clockwise direction if you have a screw-in crown watch. You need to softly and slowly pull the crown out a little bit. The best way to do this is to use first and second finger and use finger knuckle as a lever in order to pull the crown out with as little force as possible. You can feel a little click! Now you can set the time by turning it anti-clockwise. This would turn the minute-hour hands forward until you set the right time. When time is set, push the button back and screw the crown clockwise for a few rounds to ensure it is screwed back tight.

21.How do i set the GMT & LOCAL time?

GMT means Dual Time Zone and it usually use a 24-hour clock instead of a 12-hour clock we normally use. GMT can be set with two time zones. A local minute-hour hand time and a GMT (sometimes red) arrow second time zone.

22.To adjust time, please follow the instructions below:

1. Unwind the crown anti-clockwise softly and slowly until it loosen up. There are two steps of pulling out the button stem. Do not exert too much force here and please make sure you do it lightly and carefully.

2. STEP ONE is for setting the GMT second time zone. STEP TWO is for setting the local time. Pull one-step out is to set GMT and date by winding the button clockwise and anticlockwise respectively. Pull one more step is for setting local time. Pushing the crown inward one step will bring it back to GMT setting. Pushing it two steps will bring it back to normal position and you can wind it back clockwise while pushing it back softly to secure the crown onto the watchcase.

3. Set local time FIRST and then GMT SECOND time zone. When you set local time, GMT time will also be changed at the same time

23.I have a quartz version (BATTERY OPERATED) watch, when do i need to change the BATTERY?

A new battery will normally last for two years. Depending on time of the last replacement, you would probably need to change battery within two years.

24.I have a watch with date,how do i change the date?

To change date and time you need to do the following. If you have a screw-in crown like a Rolex, you need to turn the crown anti-clockwise for a few rounds until the crown is loose. Then you need to pull the crown out softly by using your thumb’s nail and first finger’s nail. Please do this softly to avoid breaking the stem. You should feel a click here. There are two steps when you pull the crown out. The first step is for setting the date (and Day if you have a Rolex Day-Date). The second step is for setting the local time (see Q2 and A2 for details). You can only set Date forward by turning the crown in one direction. When you are done with setting date and time, push back the crown and wind it clockwise for a few times to lock it.

25.What is screw-in crown?How is this different fron others?

A Screw-in crown will lock into the case of the watch when you turn the crown clockwise toward the watch case. It will tighten when it is screwed tight. Most Rolex watches use Screw-in crown. When you want to wind your watch, you have to un-lock the crown by turning the button anti-clockwise until you see the crown comes out of the watch a little bit, about 1.0 to 1.5 mm. Do not force the crown to come out cause it will easily break the stem link with the watch. When the crown comes out, you can then wind it, adjust time, date, day just like other watches. To lock it, slowly turn it and push it toward the watch until it is locked tight. NO need to apply extra force after it is tight! For most other non screw-in crown watches, you just wind it, adjust time, date, day without the need to un-screw the crown.

26.What is a recessed pusher?How is it different from the pusher buttons that are not recessed?

Recessed pushers are button that are designed in a way that the button is inside the watch body, mostly for appearance purpose. Many times, there are too many push buttons on the watch already and making recessed pushers will help to save space and makes it more desirable in looks. Usually, recessed pushers are for setting date, year or day, etc. Use a ball-point pen to push the recessed pusher all-the-way and release fully will make it change accordingly. Repeat the process until you set the right information. Do not push half way or release half way, it will sometimes cause the gear to change half way and make it show the wrong information and it might damage other mechanical parts in the watch’s movement.

27.I have a rolex daytona with VALJOUX 7750 movement with functional chronos,how do i use the stopwatch function? 

The Daytona has chronograph buttons, which has a protective-screw lock for protection. This is a unique feature for Rolex Daytona. When you need to push the button, you need to un-wind the protective-screw to the level of the inside button, then you can push the button and press the button. Be sure to push it all the way and fully release it when pushing. Pushing halfway may cause it to stop half way and cause mechanical problems.

28.What is a tachymeter and how does it work?

It is a scale on the dial. In fact, many sports version watches have it either on the rim or bezel. In conjunction with the second hand, it gives the speed of a moving object. A tachymeter takes a value determined in less than a minute and converts it into miles per hour. For example, a wearer could measure the time it takes a car to pass between mile markers on the highway. When the car passes the second marker, the second hand will be pointing to the cars speed in miles per hour on the tachymetric scale.

29.How do i use the stopwatch function on VALJOUX 7750 movenent to avoid damage to it?

To avoid damaging the delicate mechanisms of the Valjoux 7750 movement you need to follow the instructions listed below to take care of it:

If your Valjoux 7750 has DATE function, DO NOT ADJUST the date when your time is between 10:00 to 3:00. It will damage the internal gears unknowingly if you do that. The BEST WAY is to manually adjust the time to 6:00 and then adjust the DATE after that.

If you are using the chronograph functions of the Valjoux 7750, always make sure that to start the stopwatch, you depress the pusher button on top and also to STOP the stopwatch, depress the same pusher button.

REMEMBER: START & STOP is TOP Pusher Button

ONLY after you STOP the stopwatch, then you depress the lower pusher button to RESET the stopwatch function. DO NOT DEPRESS the lower pusher button when the stopwatch function is running. ONLY Depress the lower pusher button after you STOP the chronograph.

If you follow the instructions carefully, your watch will last you a long time. Naturally watches may not last a lifetime since they aren’t made to COSC standards and neither are they SWISS GENEVE made or stamped. Remember a replica is always a replica but do enjoy them as at a fraction of the cost, these cosmetically perfect replicas are a joy to wear, aren’t they?

Some additional 7750/7750b1/7753 Valjoux Movement Information

30.Please read them before u play with your watch that has above movement

1. How do you set date on 7750 or 7753 or 7750b1 or any movt with date chrono/ automatic?

Do not activate the chrono until you have done all these steps as mentioned

When you receive your piece, please remember to handwind the piece for about maybe 50 rounds, so to generate enough power reserve. Then you shake the piece like a mad cow for 3-4 minutes to generate more power reserve (If necessary)

Then pull the crown out to adjust the hour hand manually to determine when is am/pm. See the date change - then you will know when is am/ pm. Make sure you know when is am/ pm before you proceed

Make sure you do not adjust the date between 10pm-2am ever!!! Do not ask me why because it just works this way. if you adjust between 10pm-2am, the date will jam or go half way.

After u have confirmed the am/ pm…..u can adjust the crown to get to the desired date you want.

As for the timer hand to reset back to zero, it is pure luck….u may have perfect reset, or less than perfect reset. My Genuine Rolex Daytona did not reset back to zero after 3 months. By the way, make sure everytime you activate chrono, you have enough power reserve.
